Day nine of celebrating Queer people who are cool

Josephine Baker

While bisexual wasn't a term at the time, she was known for having female lovers as well as male. She was a singer, dancer, activist, and spy during World War II.

Frede Josephine McDonald was born June third, 1906 in St. Louis, Missouri. In 1925, she sailed to France, and aided the French Resistance during WW2, and worked with British Secret Intelligence Services and the United States Office for Strategic Services. The extent of her work was not known until 2020 when the French declassified the documents.

She became famous in French first due to her erotic dancing, then after a successful tour of Europe, she broke contract and returned to France.

After WW2, she went back to music, and works ong disegregating the clubs where she performed. When she toured the USA, she refused to sing in segregated clubs until her demands were met.

She died on April 12th, 1975 at the age of 68 in Paris, France. I hope she knew the impact she had the world.

Hey can you do a good and real and definitely not silly job of explaining that giant fucking eagle guy that is in the Hobbit? He's like king of the Eagles maybe? I was baffled when he showed up.

Happily!

Welcome back to Muse's musings-the non existent television show where I present my thoughts

today's topic, the eagles in the Hobbit

So, the Lord of the Eagles knows Gandalf because Gandalf helped heal him after he was struck by an arrow, because like the dude that shot him didn't want his sheep to get taken because these eagles are big enough to eat sheep, ya know, very normal things.

The Eagles live in the Misty Mountains which is basically this mountain range that's got giants, at goblin's's and orcs (orcs are basically the biggest of the big goblins from what I understand), eagles, wargs, and the like.

See, these eagles of Middle Earth really only care about themselves but they hate wargs and goblins with the same amount of shade that Kendrick threw Drake when Kendrick dropped "Not like Us".

So, the dwarves have escaped the Goblin tunnels and are in the trees watching the wargs have the evil meeting they have. Now, I personally always pictured them like Little Red Riding Hood wolves, so envision that if you will.

The dwarves, in their varies colored hoods and belts and beards and Bilbo and then Gandalf who in a tree but he's like so deep into the branches and he's a wizard so you can only see his eyes.

Gandalf speaks Warg, and so he understands that evil shit is going on and he's like nuh uh. Gandalf is like really into fire and explosives and so starts the pinecone throwing and stuff, this catches the attention of his majesty, the great eagle, because ya know, fire and dude hates wargs and goblins and he's like hell nah, we gonna end these mfs on site. (Oh and the goblin's have shown up by now and are like trying to set the trees the dwarves are in on fire with the fire Gandalf threw at the wargs)

So him and his guards fly off and he sees Gandalf cause he can "see a rabbit a mile away in dusk" according to Tolkien, and of course he recognizes Gandalf from the previously mentioned arrow wound the wizard healed him from and so he kinda owes Gandalf his life.

And so, the eagle wizard-naps Gandalf and I always assumed the reason the others save the dwarves is because they either (a) hate the goblins and wargs or (b) Gandalf was like "you gotta bring these dudes, I swear, they are chill"

the hate of the Wargs and the goblin's is also why they show up later in the battle of the armies. They are basically just like "fuck you, you fowl beasties"

Fire and feathers,

Muse

#Tolkien badly explained by a queer that loves middle earth #lord of the rings #the hobbit #muse fucks around with a fandom #the hobbit 1977

Welcome back to Muse's musings-the non existent television show that nobody fucking asked for.

Last time we did an unhinged rant about the Lord of the rings.

Today's topic is random moment from the Hobbit.

Okay so I'm listening to the Hobbit audio book, specifically Chapter 7: Queer Lodgings.

This is the chapter where they stay with Beorn, the skinchanger. Now, something that really sticks out to me in this chapter is something to do with Gandalf.

At some point, after their host disappears, Gandalf tracks the bear tracks and also vanishes, at least, according to the dwarves.

Now, when Gandalf finally comes back, they're all like "DUDE, WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU?"

And Gandalf, this wizard, says (and I'm paraphrasing) "I've been tracking bears, ayo, this is a dope place to blow smoke rings!" So he lights a pipe and spends a while with his friends pestering him and then he finally talks.

But. This wizard. The great Wizard. Mathrandir. His priority in times like this is smoke rings.

I'm just saying, it's stuff like this that is why Bilbo and Frodo's perception of him is the old wise guy with explosions.

Explosives,

Muse

Day six of celebrating Queer people who are cool

Sir Ian Mckellen

Sir Ian Murray McKellen was born May 15th, 1939. He is an accomplished actor and may be one of my personal favorite actors. He's won a Golden Globe, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, one Tony Award, five Laurence Olivier Awards, four Drama Desk Awards, Two evening Standard Theatre Awards, and many more. He has a total of 31 wins and 64 nominations.

I learned last year that he is gay and it made my pride month ten times better. He came out in 1988 and has been a champion for lgbtqia+ movements worldwide.

I think my favorite movies with him are The Lord of the Rings trilogy,, and X-men. I think those two movies really show his talent and variety as an actor.

He's currently 87, and if I ever got to meet him, I think I would actually cry. His portrayal of Gandalf brings me so much comfort. He is a fabulous man and I'm so glad he exists.

Best wishes,

Muse

warning(just in case): Medical procedures, discussion of body parts

Lili Elbe

Lili Ilse Elvenes was born December 28th, 1882. She was better know as Lili Elbe. She was a Danish painter and one of the earliest recipients of gender affirming surgery as a transgender woman.

She transitioned in 1930, she unfortunately stopped painting the same year. She went to Germany for reassignment surgery, which was highly experimental at the time. She stayed in the Hirschfeld Institute for Sexual Science. Before anything was done, she had a psychological health evaluation, and then she had four surgeries over the course of two years.

The first was the removal of her testicles, the second was to implant an ovary, the third was to remove the rest of her genitals. By this time her case became a big deal in Danish and German newspapers and her marriage was annulled by the Danish court.

She returned to Dresden and got into a relationship with and art dealer named Claude Lejeune. She wanted to marry him and have children, hence when she got her fourth surgery, to transplant a uterus, as well as a vaginoplasty surgery.

She was the first known recipient of a uterus transplant. Unfortunately immunosuppressants medications were not widely used in organ transplants in the 1930s. Due to organ rejection, causing an infection. She died September 13th, 1931, age 48, three months after the surgery.

Her semi-autobiographical narrative Man into Woman: An Authentic Record of a Change of Sex, was published in 1933. In 2015, a film inspired by her life, The Danish Girl, was released, and an opera based on her life titled "Lili Elbe" premiered in 2023.

Whether she knew it or not, she made history

I would like to touch on the fact she was a very talented artist, here is one of her paintings:

I really like this one, it reminds me of a storybook scene.

Muse

Day four of celebrating Queer people who are cool

Chevalier d'Eon

Charlotte d'Éon de Beaumon was born October 5th, 1728, usually known as Chevalière d'Éon. she was a French diplomat, spy, and soldier. She fought in the seven year war, and spied for the French in Russia and England.

While assigned male at birth, she had an androgynous appearance, which helped in her ability as a spy. She appeared publicly as a man, acting as one for the first half of her life, except while spying on Empress Elizabeth of Russia be presenting as a woman. In 1777, she started living as a woman and was recognized as one by King Louis XVI.

I bring her up to prove people who say "back in my day, men were men, and women were women" wrong. Trans people have always existed.

Charlotte died May 21st, 1810 at the age of 81 in London. Her resting place is St Pancras Old Church.

June 2026: Ahmed from the 13th Warrior (1999)

Ahmed is the main character of one of my favorite little known movies of all time featuring Antonio Banderas pretty early in his career. It's almost impossible to find fanfiction for and only slightly less impossible to find GIFs for it. Hence why I've used this GIF so much.

Ahmed is such a sweetheart, I absolutely love him. He's such a joy to write for and he's fun to watch. I finally convinced my friend @streets-in-paradise to watch it!! Please, go watch it, this fandom needs to be bigger, I will continue giving it CPR for as long as I can.

Best wishes!

Muse

Also, part of the thing with monthly characters is that any requests for them, I will try and write the request faster than usual.

Happy Pride month!

Last year I did makeup looks for each day of pride, this month I will be writing little bits about the LGBTQIA+ people who I find to be cool and interesting and I'm very proud to share or have shared a community with them.

In a world where we worry about our rights and our freedom, I think it is very important to remember people who are a part of our community who have impacted the world or even me personally.

Some of these people are dead, some of these people are still alive. All of them are or were part of the community.

Rainbows and glitter,

Muse

As I watched the 13th warrior, I was searching in my mental library of period movie redheads trying to realize where have I seen Weath's actor before and it was driving me crazy. For a moment I almost thought he was the Robin Hood (2010) guy, even tho he obviously wasn't because the decades don't match, but now i see my memory was not wrong for placing him near Russell Crowe.

@themuseinthewoods, I figured it out!

themuseinthewoods

Ah yes, the failed execution dude!

Glad to know he had a career!
